Emma Watts (email address above) is arranging the programme for this
conference. She has indicated that she would be happy with a 20 minute talk
from each of you. She knows that 4 April is your preferred date.

The copy of her provisional programme is below. I suggested that, as it
stood, the prgramme was rather "sequential" & compartmentalised, and it
would be good to have a session where some of the issues were integrated.
This could be done, by integrating some of the physical science/technology
issues - in the way that the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research
will do (Mike Hulme); & in seeking to "connect" the main players -
business/gvt/civic society, etc, in the way that the Institute for
Connective Environmental Research (Kerry Turner) will attempt. Emma will be
very pleased to hear from you, with your suggestion for titles for your
lectures & a few words on what it will cover. I shall be very grateful if
you could contact her.
